Some companies our staff have worked with

Meet the Core Team

Alan Fair: Company Director

Alan owned and managed Contact’s predecessor, Contact Multimedia, for over 8 years and Contact Online Ltd for now 6 years. Coupled with HNCs in both Electronic Engineering and Computer Technology as well as well as over 26 years in the information technology industry he brings with him a wealth of market and technical knowledge to Contact Online Ltd which he started in 2012. Alan has also lectured in a couple of Open Access Courses for Glasgow University.

A specialist in the web development & digital marketing fields that form the core of Contact’s service offerings, Alan has been able to use this knowledge to predict emerging market demand trends years in advance forming the core of Contact’s on-going business strategy. He’s Contact’s very own Oracle!

Stephen Davidson: Technical Manager

Another of the core strengths of Contact’s team is Stephen, whose technical abilities are borne out of his impressive academic and professional record. With both a BSC in Network Computing from Edinburgh University and an MSC in Computer Sciences, Stephen is also a CISCO certified Network Professional and a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer. He’s our technical Wizard and has the hair to match!

Stephen has worked with The National Health Service and the Ministry of Defence’s GCHQ, successfully carrying out highly challenging tasks for each. He has been with us since the days of Contact Multimedia working on diverse web, e-Commerce and application development tasks for a wide range of our business clients. His technical abilities are rivalled only by his understanding of the markets he operates within, and his ability to adapt to the specialist needs of Contact’s respective clients.

Josef Oberckal: Technical Developer

Josef, originally from Germany, with his post graduate diploma in Computer Sciences spent 6 years as Web Developer for Munich based chemical data provider Info Chem. Here he developed numerous front-end user interfaces for their database clients, whilst earning his Sun Micro Systems certification in Java development. In 2008 Josef emigrated to Scotland where he undertook a HNC in Interactive Multimedia. Since joining the Contact team 10 years ago, Josef has continued to develop his skills, training himself to professional level in the popular WordPress content management system.

His impressive and continuously expanding technical skill-set coupled with his formidable problem-solving intellect have proved an invaluable asset to Contact’s technical capabilities. A human robot but with a warm personality, Josef is a workaholic and won’t stop until he has perfection in every task!

Jaden Shields: SEO & Marketing Assistant

Jaden is a recent addition to our growing team and specialises in Keyword Research. His back ground in various customer service jobs gives him great insights in to customers and what they are looking for so applying that knowledge and experience to figuring out what keyword combinations will work well comes naturally to him. We are training him up to be an SEO assistant to aid in building customer’s websites up the search rankings.

He is taking on an SVQ Diploma through the company rounding out his marketing knowledge and skills. Young at heart but comfiest in his slippers in the office, with a custard cream in hand, Jaden is our Swiss army knife of marketers!

Colin Adam: Marketing Manager

As the co-founder of Yatter, a social media scheduling platform, Colin has been hired to push Contact forward with cutting edge digital marketing. With a degree in Economics from The University of Glasgow and an MSc in Applied Economics from Strathclyde Business School, Colin brings a huge amount of framework thinking and process orientation to the team.

Testimonials

Alan from Contact was recently a presenter at our workshop for Collabor8te members, giving a very informative and common-sense session. His knowledge of SEO is clear but what’s really impressive for someone who works in what is sometimes seen as some kind of black art, is that Alan also really understands marketing so everything is linked together. Definitely recommended if you’re looking to get better results from your website and digital marketing!”

Teresa Jackson

Director, Collabor8te

Our experience with Contact has been excellent – they are very reliable and easy to work with, dealing with requests in a timely fashion and relaying information/feedback on a regular basis. The team is full of great ideas and we have seen the results of this hard work very quickly. We would recommend Contact to anyone looking for a fresh approach to SEO and hope to continue working with them for a long time.

Candice Nicol

Director, Catherines of Partick

I’ve worked with Alan from Contact twice now – first at a Social Media seminar when his presentation gave insight into SEO and social media engagement; and second when he conducted a training afternoon for us on Data Analytics. On both occasions, he received excellent feedback from attendees and we plan to hold a follow-up session next year.

Nikki Simpson

PPA Scotland

“Contact are an exceptionally talented company, knowledgeable and personable individuals. They turned what had become somewhat of a headache for me into nothing short of a delight. Nothing is ever too much trouble and in fact going above and beyond is simply part of this package. Contact are a rare mix able to blow you away with both technical solutions and creative ideas. If you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Them, grab it with both hands. Friendly, fun and enthusiastic at all times…a sheer delight.”
